5 issues that WBP Omni SEO Pro fixes inside WordPress

Critical

No AI answer-engine tuning

Pages have no FAQPage, HowTo, or QAPage schema and no llms.txt, so ChatGPT / Perplexity / Google AI Overviews rarely cite the domain even when it ranks.

Plugin fix:AEO / Answer Engine Tuner

Warning

DOM size > 3,000 nodes

Heavy DOM inflates INP and blocks main-thread interactivity — a Core Web Vital that will impact rankings.

Plugin fix:Content Quality & Performance Hints

Warning

OpenGraph images inconsistent

Several high-traffic pages fall back to a generic og:image or none at all, hurting share CTR on LinkedIn, X, and Slack unfurls.

Plugin fix:Social Media Meta Manager

Warning

Blog posts missing Article schema

Category and post pages lack Article / NewsArticle JSON-LD, so answer engines can't cite headline, author, or datePublished cleanly.

Plugin fix:Schema Markup Manager

Warning

Author E-E-A-T signals missing

Articles have no Person schema, no sameAs to social profiles, no linked bio pages — a critical gap after HCU and E-E-A-T reinforcement.

Plugin fix:Author & E-E-A-T Manager
